I was a catholic child: blood ran red, blood ran wild
I might just sit here listening to Jim Carroll all day long. Then I?ll think about how badass he is and be sad that I didn?t bring The American Outlaw Book of Poetry or Void of Course or Pool of Mercury. Because, if there are things I won?t be able to find here, it would be those three items.
I will, however, be able to find Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife. Last night, I did in fact finish Pride & Prejudice, although waves of romance did not wash over me. I am not in love with Mr. Darcy (perhaps if he?d been a bit more of a cad), and Elizabeth was getting on my nerves in part. BUT I have high hopes for BBC and the new version.
It was surprising, the lack of verbal vomitage. No descriptions, not many at least. No eye colors, very little about the houses?especially Pemberly beyond furniture.
Of course, I enjoyed it, regardless.
The woman at the Thomas Read over in the Harbourmaster has a tattoo of an arachnid on her lower earlobe. Interesting. Not different; interesting.
The book that is up next is Lolita. The one with the 50th anniversary cover of half a mouth, perfectly airbrushed. I?ve read the first six pages about four separate times, but always make myself set it back down in favor of whatever I had begun the day before.
I must say, the quality of paper that it is bound with is pulchritudinous (sorry, I found this word in a thesaurus and could not help myself?how lovely it is, right?).
I will try to keep myself from purchasing the new GQ, but am unsure if that will be possible.
